THERE is quite general idea prevalent
that the American party Is a pretty
good thing, or would be, did 1t not
draw the line too closely at foreigners.
These men do not realize that in all
political exegencies there are and can be
only two political parties-the majority
and the minority, and that infinite sub
divisions can not affect this truth. All
that the prohibition party, the labor
party, the American psrty, the green
back party and all other small fry
parties can do will be to reduce the vote
OF the two leading parties of the nation
and compel elections to Office by plurali-
ties rather than by majOrities. This
is simply minority administration
and it may be well for the advocates of
80 called reform politics to consider
this, question in its practical results
before swearing allegiance to the pro-
posed powers.

The English economists are pointing
attention to the changed relations of
population to agricultural production
within the past half century. Then,
England grew her own wheat and meat;
now, her home supply Of wheat only
equals one-third her home consumption,
and twO-thirds her animal food is d.
rectly or Indirectly derived from other
countries. The quantity Of wheat alone
required by Great Britain to place them
in September, 1888, where they are now,
will not be less l3G,OOO,OOO bushels, and
the English calculator is severely exer-
oised over the manipulating operations
OF Yankee spectators at Liverpool.
John Bull need not worry. Let him
furnish the cash and Brother Jonathan
will furnish him all the wheat and meat
his somewhat large family will consume.
Just notify us, John, and we will seed
down an extra state or two to grass and
grain and make the contract.

Iowa is wrestling with a peculiar
phase of the interstate commerce law
and the United States supreme court
will he called upon to render the final
decision. The state courts have enjoined
the manufacture Of alcohol, purely for
export without the state, and the dlstil-
lery appeals on the ground that it is an
infraotion Of the interstate law as inter-
fering with commerce between the
states. The position of the courts is that
it is no interference with the interstate
commerce law because, there is no COM
modify for commerce, the production
being prevented. 1t will be very inter-
estlng point for Uncle Sam to chew the
cud of refectiveness over. II the state
courts are sustained, it gives the probi-
bition enactments OF that state a very
far reaching force and widens its police
power almost indefinitely.
